Blop, Your Virtual Buddy ยป Devlog




We are getting close to finishing the foundations of this game! ๐ Hope you like it! Please give me feedback, and soon we will start with another exciting chapter for this game.
๐ ๏ธ Jobs
When your Blop turns 3 days old, he will start receiving job offers every morning.
- Jobs are offered based on Blopโs skills.
- The more skilled the Blop, the higher the payments.
- Job durations are random, ranging from 1 to 8 hours.
- Blops cannot go to work if they are tired, sick, or hungry.
- However, if they become hungry or sick at work, they will receive food or medicine at an additional cost.
- If they fall asleep at work, the job ends, and they receive coins based on completed hours.
- You can end a job early, but coins and skill gains will be adjusted accordingly.
